The newly completed Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market opens its doors Wednesday morning following an earlier ribbon-cutting ceremony. At the same time the Browns Bridge Road Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market also opened.
Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market opened two stores in Gainesville Wednesday to cheerleaders, high school bands and jazz musicians. Customers also showed up amid the fanfare, rolling carts through the aisles of the stores at 1435 Thompson Bridge Road and 2892 Browns Bridge Road. The Neighborhood Market is a slimmed-down, grocery-focused version of the warehouse-style superstores that Wal-Mart usually has built.
